A 3D Systems Case Study
Sharon Tuvia (1982) Ltd. is an AS-9100D–certified manufacturer of mechanical assemblies and components for the aeronautical and electro‑optical industries that combines traditional machining with metal additive manufacturing (now about 30% of its business). The company’s challenge was to streamline a cumbersome metal 3D‑printing workflow—reducing lead times, lowering total cost of operation (TCO) and eliminating errors caused by switching among multiple software tools.
Sharon Tuvia standardized on 3D Systems’ 3DXpert all‑in‑one metal AM software, replacing three separate packages and shortening design‑to‑manufacturing time by up to 75%. The integrated toolset lowered TCO, increased productivity and responsiveness through history‑based CAD and hybrid solid/mesh editing, preserved accurate CAD geometry, and enabled lattice structures and 3D‑zoning print strategies to optimize part weight, heat dissipation and print time—boosting overall profitability.
